2016, an incredible year, is coming to an end. We have seen stunning developments in AI, IoT, and in other battlegrounds of the Knowledge Age. When I tried to forecast 2016, in terms of progress in innovation, last year around this time, I may have been a bit too bullish: great things are happening – we are all seeing this every day – but sometimes groundbreaking change takes time. Why? Because humans need to change and adapt to new environments, first. This time-consuming process is the foundation for progress and change. Change is uncomfortable, though. So, let us be willing to be uncomfortable in 2017!

Together with my team, I will be focussing on change management tools, methodologies and innovative ways of making things happen in 2017. For the sake of our clients. Happy New Year of Change!
